Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup unsalted butter cubed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cherry Filling
- 32 ounces fresh sweet cherries weighed before pitting, about 5 cups pitted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly grease a 2 ½-quart baking dish.
- Add the oats, butter, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon to a medium bowl. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles damp sand with no dry patches. Set aside.1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- In a separate large bowl, toss the pitted cherries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly coated.32 ounces fresh sweet cherries, ½ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Transfer the cherry mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the cherries.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling toward the center of the dish.
- Let the cherry crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Frozen cherries may be substituted. Thaw them completely, drain away the excess liquid, and pat them dry before using.
- To make the topping in a food processor, pulse the ingredients just until the mixture begins to clump together. This creates a more cohesive topping that bakes into a crunchy layer rather than loose crumbles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
